I'm gonna follow this thread, that idea looks so awesome. I can't wait to see how yours turns out. It actually makes me want to do a tank up like that now too.

Yeah, im really exited for it. im not sure where to find that black plastic sheet though. if i cant find it i guess i will settle for eggcrate or something close to that.

Try the craft store. It looks a lot like what some crafters use for some types of needle work. I know it's sold in white so I'm assuming it can come in more than one color.

well i'll be using these.

2 white strips, and 2 blue strips. maybe 1 purple.

i'll be making..what you would call..trim? out of black acrylic, so the lights will be in the lid part. the lights are plug and play, so i guess unless i can find some way to link 2 strips together, i'll be needing alot of timers

I ordered these lights and they arrived today. It says plug n' play but they're not. Did you get yours yet? I have no clue what to do with them now.

nice thread...
I use a 18w CF on my 5.5
http://www.jlaquatics.com/product/pc...t+Fixture.html

It fits PERFECTLY on a stock 5.5 if you take the top trim off.
evap was a concern at first but then a 2L coke bottle set at a slow drip as an ATO fixed that pretty quick.
Works great, have zoas, shrooms and some softies...

Bet yours winds up being prettier though.
following along.
